I like how evidence in support (such as overwhelming video game presence, longevity in the video game industry, placement in Smash polls, or even support from official sources) is a strawman

We have already gone over why this doesn't matter.

1. Dragon Ball series originated from manga, therefor Goku is a Manga character and is not eligible for Smash

2. No matter how many games he's been in that will never change the fact that he is a manga character.

3. There are many characters that people want in Smash that are ridiculous and Goku stands less of a chance than most of them.

As for the sources from you guys, I haven't seen any. If you would be so kind to post them i'll look them over (i'm being genuine here). I haven't seen everything in this thread but i've seen sources posted that go against your arguments, i'll give you a fair shake if you post your own.

 

and an eleven year old email response (it's not even an interview like many are claiming) is evidence.

It seems like its a collection of various interviews and such over the years not just an eleven year old email response and I don't think theirs any reason to think that Sakurai has changed his stance because he still says something similar in reference to Mega Man.
